It's implicitly removing the RO attribute before the delete.

I still don't get exactly what you want I'm afraid. Currently we're
implementing POSIX semantics where delete/rename belongs to the directory, not
the file.

The parameters "dos filemode" and "dos filetimes" provide some semblance
of the DOS semantics.

I'm still unclear on exactly what doesn't work for you. Can you give
me an exact example ?

Jeremy.
